The men approached the booth, and Mira asked if the mother's fanny pack was the "money bag?" Then he asked the price of the cookies and if the mother could break a $100 bill.

As the other man stood silent, apparently as a lookout, Mira said: "Give me all your money and no one will get hurt."

The mother asked him: "Why are you doing this to a Girl Scout?" She then said she had no money.

Mira argued that she must have money, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make change. Then he lifted his sweatshirt, and the mother saw what looked like a handgun in his waistband, underneath his underwear.

She loudly demanded that the men leave her alone in the hope that other people would know something was wrong, and she told her daughter to go into the store.

She also reiterated that she had nothing to give the men, and they quickly walked away.

And as they reached the corner, they broke into a run.

The 10-year-old Girl Scout returned to the store days later to continue her sales with a sign that read: "You can't keep a Girl Scout down."
